Cage Info...
is it normal for Panthers to think their arms are branches too? He loses his grip sometimes on dowels and he hangs from his forearms. Then he uses his back legs to climb his forearms and get back on. I wanna install a safety net!
In the small cage the crickets hung out near the top and he could cover half the cage almost with his tongue range. Now in the large cage things don't sit around as much and by the time he's ready to strike they've decided to start moving again.
I've seen chameleon "shelves" for glass cages but nothing for terrariums? My cham sometimes climbs on the cage ceilings and sometimes he falls cuz he cant get his back end up to grab on.
Would be nice to have a safety net so he doesn't fall to the bottom.
We walks by them all. Of course after I posted this someone must've called him because he's now sitting in the Hibiscus looking at me like I 'm crazy for thinking he doesn't like plants.:eek:
Depending where you are Ficus doesn't exist on the East Coast. Home Depots have med size Hibiscus for $15. Though hurry mine only had 5 left when orginally they had a 100. Hose it off both on top and under the leaves. Hose the soil down real good too to the point it's dripping out for like a...
He's sound a asleep then I hear a big sound least for his cage. Come to realize one of the branches that's been up for ever fell. I pick it up with him attached and he's still asleep!! Now he's off looking for some new spot to sleep.
My panther seems to only wanna drink off the screen. rarely do I see him drink for the leaves though they're fake atm.
Some panthers like alot of privacy.
I think my Panther is kinda tired of his oatmeal crickets, but he LOVES superworms!! Every one is gone in minutes. How many crickets is 1 superworm worth in nutrition?
FINALLLLYYY... he's moving around again.
First 2 mists today he was drinking like a fish. At lunch he plowed though 5 crickets in 10mins. 3 of which were in 30secs.
In exploring the new ficus outside his cage he did lose his foot and fell to the white bottom but was only about 6" maybe up...
I tried searching for some images on here but wasn't able to find any good ones.
can someone show me what a cage should look like for a Panther Chameleon?
